Meatless Monday’s: Overnight Vanilla Yogurt Oats

If mornings had a flavor, I’m convinced they’d taste like Overnight Vanilla Yogurt Oats—creamy, refreshing, and just sweet enough to ease you into the day. This recipe is perfect for anyone who’s tired of rushing out the door with nothing but a coffee in hand, or for those who want something nourishing waiting for them as soon as they wake up.

The magic happens while you sleep. You simply stir together yogurt and oats, let them rest overnight, and by morning the oats have softened into a dreamy, pudding-like base. Then comes the fun part: a drizzle of golden honey and a crown of vibrant fruit. I love the pairing of strawberries and kiwi here—the strawberries bring that sweet juiciness, while kiwi adds a tangy tropical pop that makes breakfast feel like a treat.

The best part? There’s no cooking, no stress, and no excuses. You’ll wake up to a breakfast that’s as beautiful as it is satisfying.
